“A number of victims were told that if they made a report of rape, their parents would be informed of the details of where they were and what they were doing,” said Chad Dunn, a Houston attorney who represents six women who have sued Baylor under the anonymous identification of Jane Doe.

I’m having a hard time deciding which of Baylor’s and Penn State’s administrations were the more despicable.

Baylor is not releasing assault victims names just to protect athletes, it would be done regardless of whether a jock was the culprit or not. It’s more of a paternalistic shaming of the victim. Blame the victim because if the brazen hussy wasn’t out drinking a glass of wine in the knee length skirt she probably wouldn’t have been raped.

One of the worst aspects of this whole shameful episode is that Baylor is a private Baptist school. That a school supposedly founded and based on some sort of Christian principles has become corrupted to this degree by football revenue should give the powers that be cause to take another look at what the true mission of the school is.

I don’t agree. Football isn’t corrupting Baylor. If they didn’t even have an athletic department, they would still be engaging in blaming the victim and would informing the victim’s family. It’s a perversion of basic Christian principles, and it’s not just Baptists who have done this.
